Sharing some thoughts on my favourite #Stoic concept.
The Dichotomy of Control has been a gamechanger for me, and one I find myself consistently reaching for in conversations with both professional and personal contacts in regard to their lives week-on-week.

A prison food mentality will starve your ecosystem.
Scotland’s startup scene isn’t short on talent or ambition.
But too often, a scarcity mindset leads to silos instead of synergy, and gatekeeping instead of collaboration.

Nice little addition to the Edinburgh coffee scene.
Hill City Brew has opened up as part of Hill City Vets.
Yes - a proper coffee shop doing proper coffee in a vet.
If you're in the Shandon area, this is a great spot on the corner of Shandon Pl.

Instagram really needs a 'Hide Advert' reason option which is like 'these clothes are 100% my style but are so wildly outside of my current price range that when I click through to the price it shatters the mindnumbing disassociation that I come to Instagram for'

Am rewatching Twin Peaks from the start and am really taken by how much Bobby Briggs resembles Ryan Holiday.

Bittersweet feelings this week as we wrap up reporting for the Anjal Z Techstars Founder Catalyst Program, powered by the Abu Dhabi Early Childhood Authority.
This was a 10-week founder education program w. 4 weeks on the ground in the UAE, feat. Masterclasses, Mentorship & Localisation.
